Not bad and Dadonov is 5 mil. off the books at the end of the seaon ... we're getting there.

At Christmas next season he will be in the Norris discussion and by end of the season they will try to trade him back to us for the 4th pick…

Kent Hughes says the Canadiens insisted that Mike Matheson be included in the trade, that Pittsburgh did not want to include him.

Hughes says he spoke to Kris Letang "at length" about Mike Matheson before making the trade.

On an expansion team then limited role with CGY doesn't define him. Longer term to lower the cost and an easy contract to bury if needed

there's a reason he has a limited role....

yep, overall quite satisfied with the outcome. good day for Hughes.

I can live with it, I would obviously have preferred a 2 year contract for Matheson but it is what it is ... I guess it's the best HuGo could do.

We'll also gain a lot of cap space after this season (Drouin, Dadonov & Byron) ... we all knew this rebuild would take time.

Leafs or not, 4x2.1M for 30 y/o 25 points is not a good contract.

Price is not the problem…. Duration is…

2 years at a slightly higher would have been better…

Yeah, he didn't fit in as planned. Sutter doesn't like to tinker with what works.

perhaps he has certain qualities to be a good veteran presence around the kids on the backend...? if he isn't reliable though defensively it's probably something off the ice lol

Hughes knows how to PR, he needs to prop up his new toy and generate some excitement for the fans. It's par for the course I guess.

PS: I guess I'm getting old and I know their playbook by heart.
